Your only reason for supporting that cadavar was in the hope of a repeat of Yaradua saga.

Well, thank God you know the north will rather have the north burn than see another kafuri rule them after all their jihadist struggles to put Buhari in Aso Rock

Justiceleague1:
i am benin and i dont hate the igbos,though every tribe gats her own problem. I dont hate yorubas as well,i only hate how they,along with some myopic ss ppl,castigate,malign and insult the only ppl who are giving us southerners the opportunity to vie for a new and fresh beginning-the Igbos.
Other southern regions can leverage of the current tension and strongly and solidly agitate for true federalism /resource control,total reconstruction and restructure..without the ipob agitation,we all will be zombies in the xoo.
Well benin empire,hmmm..sounds cool.

Thank You.

I said earlier that the Biafran movement is the only reason we are having a debate over Niger Delta sovereignty as a separate Nation.

If it was up to the Yorubas or Hausa-Fulani they will rather stage a broad day light genocide to wipe us out of the face of the earth for sake of the oil.

They have been castigating us as fools and myopic but when we stand up they will call us criminals.

The problem is not Igbo or Biafra but the Yoruba-Fulani Hausa and Nijeriya that is keeping the Niger Delta down

Agumbaa:
You are right bro.
Thankfully the ones who went to North to discuss their problems are not known in Biafraland.

John Nwodo stated categorically that he can't do anything about the agitation, until the issues that caused the addressed are addressed.

Let everyone keep his card close to his chest, nothing there to loose.

Besides, IPOB is not doing anything illegal . All their activities have been peaceful and are protected in the constitution so why should the Igbo elite condemn a peaceful movement ?

Ogalanyachieze:
Nos 7 where did you get that from egypt remain world power in the ancient world a power to reckon with yes just like nigeria will still remain gaint of africa and the most populous black nation at most biafrans will take about 70million with us and the next in population in africa is not more than 70 million.

Egyptian empire was never the same after the Jewish exodus as subsequent biblical narratives after the Red Sea incidence hardly ever mentioned Egypt as a power in the region to reckon with.

The Assyrian, Babylonian and then Roman empires came after the Jewish exodus.

Besides, Nijeriya is far from an empire

Bolustical:
Some people of a particular region are seriously praying to God that our ailing President die (God forbid)

Yet they want others to support them to produce a President come 2023,

It will NEVER happen,

We want them to leave this country for their utopia by October 1,

But they are now BEGGING FOR UNITY.

Afonja , praising you in your front praying for your death at your back while pointing to Igbo

This is very nice. Will be good for his obituary announcement.

1. First Pharoah insisted that he will never allow the Jews to go.

2. Pharoah then later asked the Jews to leave Egypt but they must not take any of their properties with them but only the clothes on their back.

3. Pharoah will then later allow the Jews to leave Egypt with all their properties l

4. The Egyptians then made parting gifts with the Jews giving them gold and every other thing the Jews demanded from them.

5. Pharoah will later raise an army to intercept and kill the Jews.

6. God puts the red sea between Pharoah and the Jews.

7. Jewish exodus marks the beginning of the end of the Egyptian empire as a super power.


Out of these notable 7 stages, Igbos have achieved 2 and are on the verge of achieving 3 and 4

kernel505:
Close your mouth, apolo... what? You think you're dealing with fools, you want Igbos in Nigeria, without giving them a fair share of Nigerian state?

Read again.

The northern ultimatum issued by the youth wing of the Arewa forum cited the silence of Igbo elites, politicians and other stake holders from the region and indifference to condemn the secessionist agenda spearheaded by IPOB as one of the reasons why the threat of expulsion was handed down to Igbos residing in the north.

Let me state here that no SE politician or any group mandated to speak on behalf of the Igbo people should offer any form of apology on behalf of the Igbo nation over the activities of IPOB.

Was it not this same northern elite who have since refused to condemn Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen?

Rather, the north has been reeling out daft conspiracy theories linking the activities of Boko Haram to the Goodluck administration roping in CAN as the main sponsors of Boko Haram.

Or have we forgotten how the same north came out to tell us that the Fulani herdsmen causing havock over the land are not Nigerians?

Or how about El Rufai who went as far as stating that he had located and contacted the militia commanders in a far away country and has paid them off to stop killing southern Kaduna Christians .

Or what about the very current president who stated unequivocally that "a fight against Boko Haram is a fight against the north"?

Igbos do not have to explain or defend the activities of IPOB neither are they to make apologies for the group.

Simple.

Misterdhee1:
You mentioned how religious fundamentalism will be the bane of Arewa, but failed to put into consideration how much Biafra will suffer from the average igbo man's criminal tendencies. Or how do you think the region will fare when millions of Evans and those developing other nations return home to perpetuate their kidnapping, robbery and drug business at home? Not to even make mention of possible proliferation of baby factories. The crime rate go worst pass Venezuela own.

How about the booming Human Resources managers operating in Oduastan?

uyiekpenn:
You're very delusional. No wonder you can never find an intelligent IPOB member cos their flàtheads have been blocked with Akpu.

This Bini boy, why you dey vex?

and the fight Begin's over mere imagination

Ask George Washington if the King's treason threat stopped him from declaring independence from the crown

Amberon11:
Why does the name Niger Delta Republic scare you biafrans? Did we Niger deltans tell you we are unconformable with the name? You can whine about that for all I care bit you would be causing self inflicted migraines on yourself.

All the different tribes in the South South have rejected Biafra and have said that they would prefer Niger Delta republic. I don't know how hard it is for you Igbo's to understand that.

The guy is afonja and they were the first to declare Niger Delta Republic as an impossible task owing to the ethnic diversity.

Stop allowing afonja to use Biafra phobia to deny your destiny.

They have already gotten the Itsekiris to believe more in Odua than even warri.

Stop this igbo phobia

abbey621:
Will you be QUIET! If you don't know squats ask and be enlightened instead of displaying madness! District court to Supreme, 4 where? What happened to Circuit courts or court of appeals? MUMU!

Maga, the terminologies apply only when a federal court is reviewing a case from another district court. Appeals as you know are automatic for capital punishments. The federal district court takes up the names depending on the judiciary process

obong:
no we won't. No beef with Igbos but we won't enter a union where we are a tiny minority

But you had no problem being a minority in a larger Nigeria

In as much as I like Biafra and remain a Niger Deltan we must not let afonja hatred to cause future problems for us.

We can talk of a separate nation today because of Biafra. We will need them in both political and economic alliance.

I believe in a true federalism setup we can check any tribe dominating us either as a separate nation or as a federating unit with biafra

abbey621:
Stop it already, in the Federal system, the district court represent the lowest of the totem pole.

There are only the federal district courts and the supreme court. Meaning that any contrary ruling can either be granted by another Federal district judge or it goes to the supreme Court

Stop fooling yourself more than you have already.

abbey621:
You must have a serious problem with Osogbo people cos I've never been there The court will hear any case brought before it, it is a freaking district court, one of the lowest in the USA. Call me when they have Burutai in chains....ODE!

Do you know what a federal district court is?

This is not the judge Judy you are familiar with.

Ask Bola and Remi Tinubu to tell you how they faced serious felony and ricco charges in the same Federal district court

To educate your ignorant taju afonja ass, there are only 11 Federal district courts for all 50 states in the US.

Olodo

Afam4eva:
Should Nigeria seperate based on your groupings, here's what the nations will look like.

Arewa: I think any nation that comes out from the north can't do better than they are doing in Nigeria considering the fact that they are hugely at an advantage in Nigeria and have not done much. Without oil money, the poverty in that region will skyrocket which will give room to even more fundamentalism.

Niger Delta Republic: They have the natural resources but do they have the human resources to handle the resources? I think not. It's left to be seen how far they can utilize their reources as the area is very volatile to clashes still bordering on resource control. But if the leaders are very serious, things will turn around for the best, but i won't hold my breathe on that one.

Oduduwa Republic: I think this is the part of Nigeria that is most ready for a republic, truth be told. But whether they can maintain the omentum outside Nigeria without money coming from the Niger Delta is another story. Lagos is not all there is to this region. Even Lagos will suffer a lot of capital flight due to the seperation of Nigeria. But they can maintain a stable economy if they out their human resource in place.

Biafra: This unit will be the worst from the onset because of lack of infrastructure owing to decades of neglect from the federal government. From the onset, things will look gloomy. But they have the human resource ad very inventive. So, i think evidence of progress will start being glaring after about half a decade.

Biafrans have a huge advantage and let me state why:

1. They fought twice to establish their nation. It wasn't handed down to them and so they will be starting on a highly patriotic note. The Igbos as you are aware are the only source of any meaningful development back in their home states and villages unlike the case of Odua and Arewa which depend heavily on migrant Igbos and govt subsidy. So issues of tax revenue in a legitimate Igbo nation will not be hard to generate. Igbos I know com together to contribute their money in age groups to send back to their villages to execute one project or the other. What do you think they will do in a Biafran nation where they know their pride is at stake?

2. No natural resources to squabble about. Of course there is oil but not enough to export and meet their needs. The new state will not be exporting but using the little oil they have to conserve much needed forex and you are aware that natural resources in Africa have been the primary reasons for the continents several conflicts

3. A highly independent minded individual population who will not wait for govt but do their part thereby freeing the new govt from performing useless subsidies.

Now I have to address the insult you heaped on a whole region - Niger Delta when you stated we lack the intellectual resources to lead ourselves. I won't educate you because obviously you don tey for lagos and maybe your family tree is filled with the stereotypical ogogoro palm wine tappers. Can any governor match Duke or Akpabio?

Fool

abbey621:
Are you retarded or did your mother drop you while you were a baby? Read what you posted, does it mention criminal prosecution? NO! Where the defendants diresctly harmed by Burutai or his men? NO! The ATCA "allows Americans and foreigners to file suit for violations of international law while the defendant is in the United States.Why not stop relying on wikipedia and do some research yourself, you are obviously not strong in the intelligence spectrum so I'll repeat myself, U.S district courts have no jurisdiction in this matter, the case is beyond their authority and the act that you claim does not hold water in a democratic government. I could understand if the 10 Biafrans were direct victims and have exhausted all local efforts for compensation but to go direct to a U.S district court is foolish especially when we have international bodies capable of much harsher judgments...Stop your foolishness and educate yourself!

I have since told you to approach the nearest sharia court in Kano to declare a half in proceedings at the US Federal court.

A US Federal judge has agreed that the case is credible and must go on and you with your stolen phone plus stolen data posting from your stool infested neighbourhood in osogbo dey here dey rant over wetin no concern you. Abi you be falana?

ayzTIGER:
Afonjas should just give me one reason why they are defending Burutai here. Burutai killed hundreds of protesters which is crime against international law and now he has been sued to face justice and Afonjas are here spewing trash not minding this 12th June in which Abiola was murdered and out of cowardice they kept shut. Afonjas how is this thread una business to the extent of insulting Igbos propagating that IPOB is scamming them of their hard earned money, Afonjas is your money?? Afonjas what the Bleep is your problem?

You think these people are humanoid?

Afonjas are a repetilan breed directly descended from lucifer

abbey621:
You're the one embarrassing your kin folks. You haven't stepped in the U.S, not to talk of understanding their laws so your username fits you properly!

See this osogbo reared taju claiming social media lawyer

The Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991 (TVPA; Pub.L. 102–256 , H.R. 2092 , 106 Stat. 73 , enacted March 12, 1992) is a statute that allows for the filing of civil suits in the United States against individuals who, acting in an official capacity for any foreign nation, committed torture and/or extrajudicial killing . The statute requires a plaintiff to show exhaustion of local remedies in the location of the crime, to the extent that such remedies are "adequate and available." Plaintiffs may be U.S. citizens or non-U.S. citizens.


Although the Act was not passed until early 1992, it was introduced the previous year, and the official name of the Act is the "Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991."


Legal issues
In 1992, Sister Dianna Ortiz was the first to file a case under the act, in a civil action against former general and Defense Minister Héctor Gramajo of
Guatemala , contending that, by his command authority, he was responsible for her abduction, rape, and torture by military forces in Guatemala in November 1989. A federal court in Massachusetts ruled in her favor, awarding her $5 million in damages in 1995.


Afonja can't you hide your foolishness for once?

abbey621:
I'll just show you 3 things wrong here:

1. Civil Case: What Biafrans want is not monetary compensation but criminal prosecution.

2. Extrajudicial killing - Biafrans would have to argue that the protesters were not armed and the use of force was not sanctioned by the present rule of law in Nigeria.

3. They now have to show that they have exhausted all local remedies which means they have tried the judicial system in Nigeria, there are written documentation of nonchalant response from the justice system and so on.

There's a reason why this particular act has never been applied to a democratic government, the burden of proof is exhausting!

Stop being daft

The court's first award to the plaintiffs is to determine if Buruntai was a war criminal.

Any other thing nah jara as final compensation will surely follow a favorable ruling to the plaintiffs

This is the beginning of the end

Elbanwi, rather than post on social media why not consider this precedence and Sue Buhari, Buruntai, El Rufai and Nigerian Army in a US Federal court over the zaria massacre?

free2ryhme:





Yet boko haram still infiltrate intelligence in the Nigerian Army

His thesis was on ; How jihad can help promote American imperialism in Africa, case study Nigeria Boko wars

abbey621:
You would have made sense if we were discussing your family matters but since this issue concerns Nigeria and Nigerians(Those that like or hate Nigeria) then you have no right to stop people from commenting on issues of national disgrace! You don't know me and I don't know you, so there's no need for a statement of accomplishment but when it comes to U.S law, I don't expect simpletons like you to understand. Let me state equivocally that I do not hate any Biafrans all I'm saying here is for them to behave with some intelligence. What they want is not monetary compensation but criminal charges, a U.S district court can't do that for them, even monetary compensation won't happen, ICC would have been a better option but stubborn goats hardly use their brains but would rather crack their skull. Educate yourself man and stop your pathetic rambling!

Stop disgracing yourself afonja southhaters and read the opening paragraph again

A United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia has granted leave to 10 Biafran plaintiffs to sue Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and 13 others for complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings under colour of Nigeria law to retaliate for peaceful Biafran protests against ethnic or religious oppression.

Now go and approach your nearest sharia court in Kano to effect an overuling on the US Federal court's decision to allow for Buruntai to be rightly sued for war crimes

abbey621:
Go back and read!

Go back to school

bobowaja:
Hmmmm.... Oga are you sure?

How does it even sound to your ears that I want to sue Donald Trump to owerri customary court? Does it make any sense to you? Even some cases here are done within a state without FG intervention. And there is always a power coverage for every power that be. International bodies are in better position to look into this kind of situation and not some district courts in a faraway land whose laws are not in tandem with ours.


Those guys are suing for money and if given time I know they will ask their brothers to contribute some amount of money to push the case - which of cause is going into their pockets. Must these set of people resort to dupe themselves without recourse?

Use brain. The plaintiffs hope to get a court ruling that Buruntai is a war criminal. Being a war criminal whether in Kosovo or Burundi automatically flags one for serious US sanctions

A simple trip to the latest US immigration page will show you what I am stating


The US court system is being approached with evidence to declare Buruntai a war criminal.

Or have you forgotten how US citizens can now sue members of the Saudi Royal family over 9/11 attacks?

Use brain

abbey621:
These monkeys are always embarrassing themselves! No U.S court has jurisdiction over matters such as these as long as it did not happen on U.S soil and does not involve U.S citizens, I could understand International Criminal Court but a U.S district court, pathetic!

Then why has the federal judge not thrown the case out?

Think afonja
